I
shall without further notice issue a Claim in
Defamation against yourself.

Dear Sir,

The purpose of this letter: This
letter puts you personally on notice that if you
should again publicize any statement carrying the
defamatory and now demonstrably untrue meaning,
whether implicit or explicit, that I am "an active
Holocaust denier", or any variations on that phrase
carrying the same purport, then I shall without
further notice issue a Claim in Defamation against
yourself, and I shall produce this letter at the
hearing of the action as evidence that you
published the said libel in the face of such a
written warning in support of a possible claim for
aggravated damages.

"Inviting
two notorious Jew-haters ... to the most
prestigious debating student forum in the world
will validate today's anti-Semitism which is a
poisonous ideology emanating from the extreme
right as well as the Israel-hating left and
Islamist ideologues. The British National Party
mixes anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in equal
measure. David Irving is the Holocaust
Denier-in-Chief."

Argument: I refer you to the many
statements I have made in public which are a matter
of record and will destroy any pleaded defence of
justification. These include but are not limited to
my biographies of Dr Joseph Goebbels (1996) and of
Hitler (1977, 1991, and 2002), where I describe in
detail the mass shootings of Jews and others behind
the eastern front.

My statements in both the
Lipstadt trial (2000) and
the
Vienna trial (2005) left no doubt that
I believe (accepting that the
Höfle document and Korherr
report are authentic and not
forgeries) the Nazis and their accomplices murdered
2.4 million Jews in the "Reinhardt" camps along the
Bug River (Treblinka, Belzec, and Sobibor); minor
question arise over Auschwitz,
but Holocaust historians have also asked
them.

You should not make the mistake of confusing
Liberty with License. The malice implicit in your
remarks will destroy any defence of qualified
privilege. Perhaps you will feel inclined to follow
many another coward, and make the statement under
the cloak of Parliamentary privilege. It is clear
that you fear open debate. Willing to wound, and
afraid to strike -- the prerogative of the
bully.

Notice: Should you recklessly and
maliciously repeat the lie as defined in the first
paragraph to this letter -- as you may feel tempted
to do now -- I reserve the right, subject to the
provisions of the Pre-action Protocol for
Defamation, to issue and serve a Claim in
Defamation without further notice.
